In all the time that we were working on the house, I always felt that if we could just get it finished buyers(s) would see the house and fall in love. I am always anxious when a situation is unknown, so I had butterflies about pricing the house. However, I expected that we would at least have a lot of lookers. Brokenheartedly, I report that we have had zero showings in six days. If you are thinking that concern is premature, most houses in the area are selling in six days with a ton of showings in the interim.
I am beyond super thankful for our real-estate agent - for the last sixteen years she has been really amazing. She was our agent when we purchased the house in 2002 and she been there for the purchase and sell of our other house in Houston, all of land-lording adventures, and now as we sell this house. She tweaked the listing hoping to show up in more searches and re-vamped the photos on the listing. But my fear is that we are too high on price. I am willing to be patient until Thursday - if we are still at zero showings we will have to seriously think about lowering the price.
This feels like a bunch of first world problems, but it is heartbreaking none the less....

Channeling Tarek El Mousa
If you have ever watched HGTV's Flip or Flop, at the end of every episode Tarek and Christina discuss price. Tarek talks about the comps and always lists higher, Christina always offers a halfhearted objection.
Pricing our house has been nerve wracking, and when I think of all the challenges we have faced I can't believe there is anything left to make me nervous. Price too high will not get enough traffic, price too low we are leaving money on the table.
I hope that I will be able to look back on this and say we priced just right - but it is too early to tell as the house went live on the market this afternoon. There are a handful of houses for sale in our neighborhood - prices are varied, some house are on the market for a few days and others a lot of days. Ready to check it out?
